Remedies and Spiritual Practices
While Mithuna Sankranti is generally considered an auspicious period, certain remedial measures and spiritual practices can be undertaken to harness its positive energies and mitigate any potential challenges.
Reciting the Gayatri Mantra or the Surya Mantra, which are dedicated to the Sun, is considered to be highly auspicious on Mithuna Sankranti. These hymns are believed to call down divine grace and tune the consciousness of the chanter to the cosmic frequencies.
According to Vaastu, there are certain ways to avoid the negative effects of Mithuna Sankranti and make it more positive. It is believed that keeping particular gems like yellow sapphire or Citrine in the southeast direction of the house or the workplace will bring prosperity, intelligence and success.
It is also suggested that used clothes, food, or any other necessities of life be given away to the needy during Mithuna Sankranti. These are thought to build up merit and to draw blessings and other positive energies into one’s life.
Further, wearing or surrounding oneself with certain colours is lucky during the festival of Mithuna Sankranti. The colour that is most recommended is yellow, which is related to the Sun and the intellect. Other colours like orange, red, and saffron were also considered auspicious during this period.
Mithuna Sankranti is associated with cosmic vibrations; hence, people can embrace spirituality like meditation, yoga, or devotion to align themselves with the energies of this day. These practices are said to bring about serenity, understanding, and spirituality.
